Breast Friends

Become a Breast Friend because together we are stronger. You are not alone. We’ve lived, loved and laughed. We’ve felt pain, cried and had irrational fears.

Whether you are a survivor, a family member or a supportive friend – we would like to hear from you. Share your story with us. Together our pain and fears are lessened. Your words can bring comfort and guidance for people walking the same difficult path.
